Reform: 15%
Conservative: 6%
Any big shopping can be done in a car which can carry your shopping home, preferably out of town for those living in town so town isn't congested with totally unnecessary traffic.
Having a vibrant restaurant and nightlife isn't something to be upset about, nor is having homes for people.
Most people under 50 probably would probably rather have homes and restaurants than shops anyway.

You begin to wonder if democracy is just too hard for some people.
O/T (completely bonkers more like) Would it be possible to introduce a higher employer's national insurance rate for immigrant workers. It'd make no immediate difference to the sainted NHS (receipts out=receipts in), but would encourage "British Jobs for British Workers". The NHS would also see they could optimize their budget if they went domestic. We have a higher tax rate for graduates (although it's not called that) so it's not completely off the wall? You'd want a nice 5 year tapered introduction so employers could train up domestic staff obviously. A Brexit benefit? But this is (a) for workers with pay > £30K and (b) only 3%. How about 20% for care workers?
Quality people from bottom to top
The T20 Final is on Saturday - ie the day after tomorrow - and in a different country.
The problem is the semis should have been earlier.

Interesting he apologises to Farage and Reform but not to Sunak?
A volunteer Reform UK canvasser has been filmed calling Rishi Sunak a “f---ing P---” by an undercover reporter.
Channel 4 News filmed the remarks in Clacton, where Nigel Farage is running to be MP, by Andrew Parker.
“I’ve always been a Tory voter,” he said. “But what annoys me is that f---ing P--- we’ve got in. What good is he? You tell me, you know. He’s just wet. F---ing useless.”
In a statement, Mr Parker said: “I would like to make it clear that neither Nigel Farage personally or the Reform Party are aware of my personal views on immigration.”
He added: “I would therefore like to apologise profusely to Nigel Farage and the Reform Party if my personal views have reflected badly on them and brought them into disrepute as this was not my intention.
Mr Farage said: “I am dismayed by the reported comments of a handful of people associated with my local campaign, particularly those who are volunteers. They will no longer be with the campaign.”

Estimate what percentage of adults are both 18-24 on 04/07/2024 and were old enough to vote on 23/06/2016.
Though I must have missed how calling people a f***ing p*** is a 'view on immigration'.
All he had to do was leave out that sentence and he could have abused Rishi to his heart's content.
Those 25-34 and 35-44 year olds are the real laggards. Millennials in other words.
GenX take our civic duties more seriously.
The same study demonstrates that only the Lib Dems have equal support across all the generations. That’s our timeless appeal.

from Fareham. I found it interesting and quite illuminating.

Ukip is sort of a bunch of ... fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists mostly
He might know exactly how to tread the line, but many of his supporters don’t know that there is a line.
They aren't registered to vote in big enough numbers for one thing.
What you are really railing against is that the inbuilt fix in our voting system that has pampered and favoured the Tories for so long, just might work hugely against them this time around.
That the Tories might get to feel how the LibDems have, winning 20-25% of the national vote and yet taking away just a tiny handful of seats, is just part of the karma that is, hopefully, incoming your way in just a week’s time.
*other than Slough.
When it comes to having a shiny forehead and ennobling Glaswegian knickers magnates he's first
At serious grown up politics he's the worst
As sir rod memorably sings.
*Apologies if you were being deliberately thick for comic effect.
The Conservatives need reform not Reform.
But really Europe makes no sense geographically as one, so we should all just pile in on Afro-Eurasia.
The Futures Bright.
The Future's Orange
(and red and green)
Replacing the Tories with Reform is like replacing a headache with a brain tumour.
There fixed it for you
This time they are standing in only 24 seats, below even that of the RejoinEU, Heritage, and Yorksihire parties.
Vile smears. Don't wear white before Labor Day
It's not all shits and giggles for New York's upper crust as they head to the Hamptons for the summer season. It's mostly just shits.
For the last few weeks the Hamptons set's favourite piece of gossip to text to each other has regarded a scandal at the home of Gwyneth Paltrow. The story goes that a recent houseguest of Gwynnie's catastrophically shat themselves in bed while staying there, then fled back to the city before they had to face the music.
Gwynnie's guest won't be the only shitter in the Hamptons this year. Ozempic-induced diarrhoea is becoming a very hot topic of conversation between hosts there - because so many of their guests are using it. So expect laundrettes to be fully booked from July 4th.
From another PB.
I was somewhat curious as to whether he was referring to people of Pakistani background or Asians generally.
He should have a friendlier environment in Islington, but winning will still be hard.
Older people have more predictable lives and don't stray far from home as often.
We might consider allowing early in-person voting on the weekend before the election.
That must have taken 5 minutes to research
A couple of decades ago, a USAF trainee pilot of Pakistani origin was dubbed the P-word. This was informally okayed by the senior officers, until an exchange pilot mentioned that it might not be a good nickname. After which it was rapidly (and unusually) changed.
Words can have different cultural meanings in different countries.
We were interested to see Nigel Farage hiring the devil's own law firm, Carter-Ruck, to respond to the Mail on Sunday's story that claimed Farage was personally "infected with Putinism".
While Farage doesn't look out of place on Carter-Ruck's client list (The Church Of Scientology, Simon Cowell, Chelsea FC, Qatar, etc) we're not sure they're the best firm to hire if you're looking to scrub the taint of Putin.
Not least because, Carter-Ruck head honcho Nigel Tait was specifically named in the House of Commons in 2022 as one of the "amoral" lawyers in the profession aiding Russian interests in the UK courts at the expense of British citizens.
Oh OK, we're not supposed to use the accepted definitions of continents because it upsets you. Do let me know if there's any other completely non-contentious geographical terms you've got sand in your fanny about.
Didn’t he have a Damascene conversion on the way to the Brexit polling station in 2016?
The do seem to have got a result in this instance though.
